It won't stop them trying. I think we all know AI often doesn't work well, and in many cases AI isn't even AI - just an existing service renamed.

As long as some people can make some money now from the hype, they'll be happy and we will pick up the pieces afterwards.

Doing a clean up and found an unopened Hive View camera - a 'British Gas innovation'. This product became e-waste this month.

I never used it and now NOBODY can, AT ALL. Not even locally on their home network.

Another example of a product you buy but businesses can kill at any time.

Be warned!

Yeah, but what about when you get a call at 2am on a cold winter morning to learn your sick gran has been rushed to hospital and you need to drive 800 miles without a single break? And by the time you get there, you'll need a new battery because they only last for 24 hours before catching fire. Huh?

Oh well, that's the end of that. At midnight, Amazon is scrapping payments for receipts. They'll still pay for the odd survey but they've almost dried up to nothing in the last few months.

I did well for the time they operated it I suppose, but perhaps times are hard for the company now!

Is this where Elon comes in? Is that why he wants to build these rockets?

If you need to install a screen at a public toilet sink, and place stickers on the tap/dryer itself, maybe you didn't come up with such a brilliant design as you thought you did. #Dyson

Reform tearing itself apart.. Trump and Elon not taking their split well at all.. and Liz Truss and the Tories starting new fighting....

I am starting to feel sick from all the popcorn consumption, but I can't stop.

In the winter, when generation is likely going to be nearer 20% of what I'm getting now, that's still hopefully going to cover most of our daily usage.

I'm now wishing I'd invested sooner - and think others need to look into it too.

Solar panels and batteries are cheaper than ever! Do it!!

That's including one day with less than impressive weather conditions, so to say I'm happy is an understatement!

Sadly the exported energy so far isn't getting us paid (Octopus is getting us an export MPAN still) but I'm already preparing for a zero electricity bill from now on. Hopefully negative!

As I write this at 0540 - my solar panels are already generating (450W) and recharging the battery that powered overnight.

In the first week since installation, we've produced a whopping 223kWh of electricity! Our weekly usage averages 70-80kWh.

127.2kWh exported and 5.9kWh taken from the grid!

@octopus.energy I am trying to set up Octopus Outgoing and having issues, like when I tried to change a single fuel on my account before. Can you help please as it doesn't fix itself through refreshing or waiting? (See photo for the issue I'm having via the website).

If Trump thinks there's a genocide going on in south Africa, what must he think of what's happening in Gaza??

Even if you were paying me Β£388 I wouldn't go to the USA right now.

Maybe they'll get some takers... Just be sure you've never said anything remotely negative about the US Government.
